Capability · Tube Laser

Cut Once.
Weld Faster.
Build Better.

Our tube laser brings high-speed, high-precision cutting to tube, pipe and structural steel — turning raw lengths into weld-ready, fully-featured parts with holes, copes, slots and tab-and-slot joints already in place.

Why Tube Laser

A Better Way to
Cut Steel.

Traditional cutting means a saw, a drill press, a grinder and a lot of hand layout — and every step is a chance for parts to drift out of tolerance. A tube laser does it all in one programmed operation, straight from your CAD model.

The result: parts that fit the first time, assemblies that self-jig, and far less time on the bench prepping and grinding before a weld is ever struck.

Tighter tolerances

Laser-accurate cuts mean parts fit the first time — less grinding, less rework on the bench.

Weld-ready features

Holes, slots, copes and weld-prep bevels cut in one operation, so assembly drops together.

Faster turnaround

Programmable, repeatable cutting runs production volumes without re-fixturing every part.

Less material waste

Optimized nesting along each length squeezes more parts from every stick of steel.

Tab-and-slot assembly

Self-jigging joints speed up fit-up and improve weld consistency on complex frames.

Design freedom

Engraving, complex profiles and intricate features that plasma and saws can't touch.

Tube Laser FAQ

Common Questions.

What is tube laser cutting? +

Tube laser cutting uses a high-precision laser to cut tube, pipe and structural steel to length while adding holes, slots, copes, weld bevels and tab-and-slot joints in a single programmed operation — turning raw lengths into weld-ready parts straight from a CAD model.

Where can I get tube laser cutting near me in Alberta? +

Comet Welding runs an in-house tube laser at 5604 Len Thompson Drive, Lacombe, AB, serving customers across Central Alberta. Call 403-782-2525 or send your part list and we'll quote it.

What materials and profiles can Comet's tube laser cut? +

We cut round tube & pipe, square & rectangular hss, angle & channel, mild steel, stainless & more — round tube and pipe, square and rectangular HSS, angle and channel in mild steel, stainless and more.

How does tube laser cutting save time and money? +

Every hole, slot, cope and bevel is cut in one operation, so parts fit the first time with far less hand layout, drilling and grinding. Self-jigging tab-and-slot joints speed fit-up and improve weld consistency, and optimized nesting reduces material waste.

Can Comet weld and assemble the parts too, or just cut them? +

Both. You can pick up finished, repeatable weld-ready parts, or have our CWB-certified shop weld and assemble the complete frame, trailer or structure. We handle design through final fabrication under one roof.

Do I need a CAD model to get parts cut? +

No. We'll work from a CAD model, drawings, or even a sample part — and can help engineer the design if you don't have one ready.

Have a Frame, Trailer or
Structure to Build?

Send us the part list. We'll cut it tight, weld it true, and help you get it out the door faster.
